Shrewsbury Street.

Shrewsbury Street has plenty of old school 3 deckers, an old converted factory loft style building, a converted school, and two larger modern apartment buildings under construction if that's more your thing.

Walking distance to a park, gym, hair salon/barbershops, restaurants, night entertainment, arcade, coffee shop, butcher shop, bakery, diner, and the train station. While you could walk, the road to get the actual park is kind of far, but Green Hill Park offers a real secluded escape from the city and is very close.

Super markets you'll have to drive, but it's a five minute drive to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or Shaws.

I’ve heard that living on Shrewsbury street in the summer is a drag- literally. People drag race and it is very loud during the warmer months.

Good to know! Definitely don't want the noise. Do you know of more residential areas near Shrewsbury?

Hamilton st , Lake Ave , plantation st - busy roads with quieter side streets / neighborhoods, close to shrewsbury st

totally residential (5 minutes to downtown/shrewsbury st area ) massasoit rd / blithewood Ave. This is sometimes referred to as the Broadmeadow Brook neighborhood in real estate listings. (There’s an Audubon Sanctuary with that name in the area)

Thank you! This area does sound really nice! Do most students live there since it's close to several universities?

Honestly, everywhere in Worcester is going to have students. We are a huge city, with lots of colleges spread out across all corners. And students also tend to like the amenities you desire.

Shrewsbury Street is closest to the medical school though, so most will be older students more likely to be studying than partying if it’s noise/ambiance you’re worried about.

Add 15 minutes to find a parking spot and walk in, but worth it! Seriously that place is always packed!!!
